Dollar General Black Friday

Updated

Dollar General‘s Black Friday ad usually drops the first week of November, and is chock-full of sales that are good for Thanksgiving through the following weekend. Here’s what you need to know, including what to watch for and what to skip at Dollar General during Black Friday.

 

Dollar General’s Black Friday sale happens (mostly) in-store and lasts for just a few days.

Dollar General’s Black Friday ad states that only some of the deals are available online. The Dollar General Thanksgiving Deal Days sale will take place Nov. 24 – 26, 2022, but early deals will drop in the weeks leading up to the big sale.

If you want the best Dollar General Black Friday deals, head to a Dollar General store near you early on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday. Most Dollar General stores will be open 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day (except for stores in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine). Expect regular store hours on Black Friday.

 

Gift cards, household goods, decor, and toys are some of the best things to buy at Dollar General during Black Friday.
